Super Mario Odyssey is easily one of the best games on the Nintendo Switch. It's every bit as visually and technically impressive as Breath of the Wild, and as revolutionary in terms of adding new concepts and mechanics to a well-established series.
Pros:
- Fun, varied gameplay
- Many kingdoms to explore and challenges to beat
- Capture mechanic adds exciting problem-solving elements
- Costumes and Snapshot mode are a blast
Cons:
- Very limited multiplayer

Super Mario Odyssey
Whether as a moustachioed frog, tank, bullet or T-Rex, players will spend as much time inhabiting the bodies of their foes as the title character's trademark dungarees in Super Mario Odyssey .

- Classic formula made brand new
Cons:

- Giant control tips

The original video game mascot has taken us on a trip to worlds you can only dream of. We've been to the Mushroom Kingdom, Isle Delfino and even an entirely new Galaxy. With each release, Nintendo pushed the boundaries and now it's about to rewrite the rulebook all over again.
Pros:
- The move set advancements
- thanks to Cappy
- Each Kingdom is filled with secrets and things to do
- A platformer for both beginners and veterans
- When the credits roll there is still much to do..
Cons:
- The co-op isn't that great
- At some point it'll end

Super Mario Odyssey represents a shift in direction for Mario. For about a decade we had exceptional but tightly structured 3D series entries, but this new arrival's building blocks go back to Super Mario 64.
